"Former Spurs guard George Hill always has enjoyed basketball competition.

The lockout has to be killing Hill, even with the excitement of moving back home to play for the Indiana Pacers after his trade there by the Spurs last month in the Kawhi Leonard swap.

Now, it appears that Hill is open to playing in Europe during the lockout.

Hill's agent Michael Whitaker told Hoops Hype.com that his client is taking a "wait and see approach" to going overseas to play.

"If a team with the appropriate budget - that's an Euroleague or Eurocup team - is willing to give him an NBA out if and when the lockout ends, George will highly consider the offer," Whitaker said. "If the NBA season is fully canceled, it will be more likely that George pursues an opportunity to play in Europe or China.
